I have a thought for 2010:a workshop in Murnau Bavaria, where the Blue Rider Group - Kandinsky, Muenter, Jawlensky, Franz Marc and others in the group worked and lived and worked from1910 to 1914 !! The village itself has changed some since, but the vistas they painted the "Russian haus" the church steeple visible from the house, the village houses leaning into the street, are still there.
I would like to visit the museums in Munic first to see the paintings (many are shown at the Lehnbach haus) and then find a small hotel in Murnau or near to paint and visit the places those famous artists have been inspired by. The landscape is spectacular I can assure you and even if we will not paint like them we will be enriched by the experience. This is a thought please let me know if you are interested in this proposal. It could happen in May or later that year also.

about content and meaning in your work!
in my studio near Santa Fe
I asked myself and I have been asked these question many times:
-
How do I bring meaning and content to my work?
-
How to go from the personal to the universal?
-
How do I know what is making a good image?
These are questions we face every time we feel the inner necessity to express something coming from a experience that has left a footprint deep inside our consciousness. or some restlessness we feel but cannot find a source for.
In this time of crisis, personal, financial and global. a tremendous shift is happening: we are all looking for a deeper meaning to our lives. A sense of loss can lead to feeling lost. This is actually a good place to be: It is a door wide open. Let us together explore this place in time!
a mini workshop helped us find some answers
the workshop was very sucessful and fun here are some pictures:

Watercolor Seminar in Italy!
September 16th-22th 2006
I took a small group to San Angelo, a small picturesque fishing village on the lovely island of Ischia / Italy in the bay of Naples north of Capri.
We first met in Naples to have an opportunity to visit the archeological Museum in Naples, holding many treasures from Pompeii and other sites.
Participants wrote about the seminar:
"....I much I
enjoyed our classes and time together. I felt like I learned so much
about art from you – I mean the deep stuff deep down inside...
"This opened my eyes--expanded my views. I learned new ways to use color and the
other design elements to express my creativity in fabulous locations. We shared an art adventure with students of like mind and a professional artist and
educator".

Paestum was on my agenda and it was most rewarding to see the great Greek temple and the museum, holding many wonderful artefacts from Antiquity
"Tomb of the Diver"
Paestum south of Naples
The group stayed at the Pensione Casa
Sofia overlooking Maronti Bay, one of the nicest sandy
beaches and the picturesque port of San Angelo. The romantic fishing
village in the southernmost part of the island with
winding roads and colorful houses is the only place on the
island closed to car traffic therefore providing a restful quiet place
to explore, enjoy the village and it's people, the views, have a
cappuccino or gelato (ice cream) in an outdoor
cafè, visit a thermal hot spring for the afternoon or stroll
on the beach. We had wonderful subjects to paint
right in front of us, sitting on the terrace of Casa Sofia.

The hotel was very comfortable and inspiring. Many artists have stayed
there before us we enjoyed seeing the paintings that have been
done there in the past by well known
artists.....
